Employment ban
Whether an employment prohibition is pronounced for a pregnant woman with ISG complaints always depends on the individual situation and the job to be performed. In general, a ban on employment should only be imposed if the activity to be performed would endanger the welfare of the mother or the unborn child. By a prohibition of employment the pregnant woman is then partially or completely released from her work obligation. Differently than with a normal sick note, with which one would get sick pay after 6 weeks, there is with the employment prohibition the whole time over the full salary, which is then paid by the employer and the health insurance company. When and to what extent a ban on employment is imposed is decided solely by the attending physician.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual form of therapy, which in Germany may only be performed by specially trained osteopaths under this term. Osteopathy is based on four basic principles. The osteopath has the patient as a whole in mind during treatment and does not try to fight the problem directly, but rather to stimulate the self-healing powers of the body through gentle manual grip techniques so that the body can heal itself in principle.
The osteopath works only with his hands, mechanical or other aids and medicines are not used in osteopathy. A treatment usually takes 45-60 minutes and includes a detailed medical history. Usually 2-3 sessions are needed to improve acute problems.
In recent years, treatment by an osteopath has also become increasingly established for pregnant women. This is not only the case for the typical complaints associated with pregnancy, but also as postnatal care after the birth. It is important that the treating osteopath should have further training in working with pregnant women. The article Osteopathy in case of a slipped disc might also be of interest to you.
